There aren’t many people in the business world with the breadth and depth of experience of Sir Mike Rake. One of Britain’s most highly regarded “boardroom grandees”, with a reputation as a corporate troubleshooter, Sir Mike has chaired the boards of KPMG International, British Telecom, EasyJet and WorldPay and held senior roles at Barclays and McGraw Hill.
He has also advised prime ministers, been President of the CBI, and chaired the board of Great Ormond Street Children’s hospital.
Throughout his career Sir Mike has also been a keen advocate for social justice, calling on the establishment – in politics, business and the media – to address the needs of people who have been left behind in the UK.
Today his strategic counsel and expertise are highly sought after. Here at Astraea he helps clients navigate high stakes special situations, and we’re delighted he could join us to share insights into some of the major crises he himself has faced as a business leader.
